Final Results
With most of our juniors sensibly choosing to concentrate on their school exams the second Inter-Club race at Lytham was a little bereft at the front end of Chorley AC athletes and we consequently had a bad day being 6th overall, in the vets, ladies & vet50s and even the normally reliable vet60s could do no better than 5th. The exception was youngster Adam Sciacca running his furthest distance ever had a brilliant race being 26th(29:44). Paul Wareing 55th(31:48) also had a good race with a flat out finish inevitably chased by Dave Taylor 63rd(32:30) and Ian Walker 91st(34:50). Henry Minorczyk 103rd(35:45) was next over the line leading Marco Sciacca 109th(35:58) and Jonathan Betts 122nd(36:24).

Son Stuart Swann 183rd(43:40) escaped from Jan Mayor 190th(45:26) whom it was good to see running again. Adrian Smith 198th(48:24) just remained ahead in a fierce battle of the vet60s with Les Paul 200th(49:08) just taking Mike Coppin 201st(49:22) ahead of returning Tom Hilton 203rd(50:17) and Paul Cunliffe 204th(50:36).
